turtlehurricane Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The central axis of the band is now moving into Wisconsin. Virga here and 36/29. Precip should begin in the next few hours. Very impressive to see snow accumulations despite above freezing temps to the south, shows how hard it's snowing. Freezing temps spreading through a pocket of NE IA and NW IL.

You just might be able to sneak into the 3-5" zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've purposely avoided watching the newscasts because I'm sure they're cringeworthy. GHD v2.0 setting up. Hype is right across the board. Kitchener/Waterloo have both declared snow emergencies now starting at midnight. Any other winter a 4-6" snow warning wouldn't even be noticed. But yeah, you're right. Time to change the channel.

QVectorman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Considering a winter storm is on the way when just 2 days ago we didnt even know if there would be ANY storm....Im happy. But have to admit being south of Detroit, east of DTW does not look well for the dryslot and that flat out SUCKS. Looks the far NW burbs of Detroit up to about Flint will be the jackpot for SE MI. Models still relatively all over the place considering the storm is here, so as they say, nowcast time. Last thundersnow I saw was Feb 20, 2011, and it was pure awesome. I agree I think jax lan and battle creek area will be the sweet spot synoptically but lapeer port huron bad axe always come in with crazy amounts thanks to some meso scale help from the lake especially when they are under the ccb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this storm is coming out of the plains not the gulf. How often do storms out perform the models or even match model qpf honestly? I know you guys will hate me for saying that.

This system has a gulf connection it probably won't be more than 4-8 but the reasoms are different than it being a clipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
